In the first episode of Season 2, we hear the story of Chef Mostafa ElRefai, co-founder and executive chef of Zooba. Mostafa started his journey studying psychology in the U.S., yet discovered his true passion working at a simple Italian restaurant. He began by washing dishes and, over time, learned from the Italian chefs until he became a professional. Chef Mostafa ElRefai’s success is deeply connected to Zooba, the restaurant chain that has become a destination for lovers of authentic Egyptian food around the world. Although, he began his career studying psychology, his passion for cooking led him into the restaurant world, where he and his team created a unique vision serving Egyptian street food with a modern and innovative twist. In 2012, Chef Mostafa founded Zooba with a new vision: offering street food with global quality and innovative flavors. Today, Zooba is not only one of the best restaurants in Egypt but has expanded internationally with branches in New York, Riyadh, Kuwait and Bahrain, and it ranks 9th on "The MENA’s 50 Best Restaurants" list. Learn more about Chef Mostafa’s journey, how he turned his love for his grandmother’s cooking into a successful global business, and how he transformed the concept of Egyptian street food into something truly remarkable.
